Season the other side of the chicken with salt and pepper while it cooks.

Brown the chicken until it is light golden on both sides, then remove it from the skillet.

Add chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until softened.

Add chopped bell pepper and minced garlic to the onions and cook until fragrant.

Stir in sweet paprika and mix well with the vegetables.
